Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour blend
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup finely grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Pour in the melted butter and whisk until smooth.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the finely grated and squeezed dry zucchini and the chocolate chips.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter, for a fudgy texture.
  9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
  10. Cut into squares and serve your rich chocolate squares.

Notes

  • Squeeze the grated zucchini very dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Excess moisture affects the final texture.
  • For the fudgiest result, slightly underbake them; they will set up more as they cool.
  • If you do not need a gluten-free option, you can substitute regular all-purpose flour for the gluten-free blend.
